are you on the mailing list (python-list@python.org) or reading via google groups? groups is full of junk, but the list is filtered. the (filtered) list is also available via gmane and similar.
(disclaimer - i also use spamassasin so it's possible that is cleaning the mail up, but this discussion has happened before, here and on -dev, and people have generally acclaimed the list filtering). andrew Avi wrote: > Hey Folks, > > I love this group and all the awesome and python savvy people who post > here.
